Nazneen felt Ares's body go limp in her arms, but before she could panic, a fight broke out again. The dragon that had been still, tried to flee as soon as Ares lost consciousness, but Malachi and his brothers were there to stop him. Nazneen was slightly annoyed that he followed her despite what she said. Had Ares not taken care of things meanwhile, then they could have put him in danger. But of course, he was eager to get his hands on the dragons that possibly hurt him, and his breedmate and Ares wasn't…-

Nazneen searched the whole Area with the help of Ravina, Malachi, and his brothers. Some shifted and flew away to search the woods and mountains while the rest of them searched through the crowd at the festival and asked people around. Nazneen's heart was erratic in her chest the whole time while many ideas went through her head. Did he perhaps go for a swim without telling her? Then she would kill him with her own hands once he came back. But if he was getting hurt somewhere then.... she swallowed the…

Ares woke up, feeling as if someone was hammering inside his head. The pain was like sharp spikes shooting in different directions and hitting his skull, but the back hurt the most. Still unable to open his heavy eyes, he lifted a heavy arm and touched the back of his head. His fingers became wet, and he forced his eyes open to see the red stains on his fingertips. Blood. With a groan, he forced the rest of his eyes open only to gaze at the darkness above. Then he looked around, feeling as if his skull…

Ares quickly pulled himself together. He didn't want to make this uncomfortable stay here in Malachi's kingdom worse and more problematic. Nazneen had an unpredictable temperament and he didn't want to cause any problems for Ravina. Besides, he didn't owe her an explanation. He wasn't planning on pursuing a relationship with her. "I didn't notice," he said, and he wasn't lying. He had known she was there, and he had seen her dance with Malachi, but he tried his best not to pay her any attention. There…

Ravina studied Ares like she studied her father's notes or inventions. She did notice a difference since he came here, but she couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was. She wanted to ask Joel what he meant by that so she could get a hint but didn't want to give him or Malachi the wrong idea. Ravina could see the golden tattoos on one side of his chest and shoulder. As he turned his head slightly, his eyes glowed a teal blue and seemed very reflective, as if there were water in them. That could simply be the…

Nazneen dragged Ravina away to a dance show and Ravina could feel her heart pounding hard. She could NOT dance. She knew that. Even when she was trained by a professional teacher at the castle, she always fumbled or stumped on the one she danced with. This wasn't a matter of not having been taught. This was just not her thing. "I can't dance." She told Nazneen once they came to a halt. "I will teach you," Nazneen smiled with charm. Ravina felt like Nazneen wasn't the type to listen easily, so she had to…

Malachi talking like a gentleman was funny, and Ravina got the laugh she needed to handle this festival. It wasn't as bad as she thought. They could go wherever they wanted, buy things, watch shows and dances, and eat delicious snacks all while chatting. There were fires and lanterns lighting up the surrounding area. The shops sold antique and mystical stuff that she hadn't seen before. The sellers would call out to advertise their items and try to sell them. Ravina felt bad ignoring them, but she couldn't…

"What do you think?" Araminta asked her after helping her make her hair look nice. Her golden hair fell in nice lush locks that made her look healthy and glowing. Araminta had also painted her cheeks and lips pink to match the blushing rose of her gown. She had picked out a top to cover the scars on her back, which was very considerate of her. "It is beautiful. Thank you," Ravina smiled. Araminta and Aaron had treated her nicely from the beginning. Without them, in her depressed state, she might have…

Nazneen allowed Ares to drag her away, and she wasn't sure why he was acting like this. "What is wrong?" She asked. "You need not ask him for money." He sounded annoyed. "He wants us to stay here, so he should pay for everything we need." She simply said. He came to a halt and turned to her. His eyes narrowed. "Is this an act of rebellion against him?" He wondered. She shrugged. "He deserves no less." Ares just looked at her. "And we needed our money. I want to buy things. I haven't been able to do…

Ravina felt her heart drop to her stomach as if it was falling down a hill when Malachi rose from the ground. It was exhilarating. She didn't know what this would feel like. Would she be afraid? Would she be able to hold on? What would the world below look like? There were so many questions to be explored. Malachi's wings looked even larger as they spread and flexed, lifting them further from the ground. She held the fins tightly, staring ahead at the sky, imagining flying into the sunrise. A gust of…
